The Dexamethasone has worn off now and the constant burning sensation in my right shoulder blade has returned and my right pinky is always tingly. Last night I had to alternate between the bed and couch because of it. The intensity level changes throughout the day, but I think I have a grasp on it for now. Ice seems to help a lot more than I thought it would.

I've got an epidural shot scheduled for the 27th so that should help a lot with the pain issues and get me to the surgery date comfortably.

Good times....
